Just got an K3 V2 white backlight unable to update the firmware
K3 V2 belongs to the original K series (with proprietary keyboard firmware). It is not based on QMK and thus is not supported by Via and the Via clone (unless taking the exotic route; the K3 is on the list, but it depends on the exact variant). (K3 V3 (AKA K3 QMK) is based on QMK.) References K3 (AN

So... I got one of these!
I've owned all three Lenovo models. None of them come close to an internal laptop keyboard because they're poorly replicated.However, there is a private project with an X201 keyboard, but unfortunately, I don't have the name or link handy.I wanted/want an external keyboard because I'm "retiring" my

Keychron quality
I myself can attest to Keychrons QC being ass after I bought a low profile Keychron K3 V3 QMK board. If you want to I can elaborate on what exactly was the issue, but it doesn't change the fact that for every person which had a negative experience with Keychron there's probably a couple other who ha

Keychron K3 crashing when connected via Bluetooth
u/Outrageous_Fun_9074:I have the exact same behavoir with my Keychron K3 v3. Bluetooth still connected, keyboard completely dead. Only OFF/ON helps. It sometimes happens after 1-2 days and sometimes it's 2-3 times in a row. My Controller FW was on v1.0.0. and i updated to v1.1.1, still the same issue.

Milyen billentyűzetet használsz, angol, magyar esetleg más? Váltogatsz a nyelvek között?
Mivel elsősorban programkódot vagy angol szöveget írok, a konzisztencia és az írásjelek jobb elérhetősége miatt angol kiosztással használom. Régebben váltogattam, de utáltam magyar kiosztásra váltani, ékezettelen módon magyarul írni pedig okozott némi törést, és néha olvasói oldalon is némi hisztit.

Low Profile Wireless Mechanical Keyboard Recommendations?
Chosfox vero75 looks like the premium option, with real QMK firmware and Kailh Choc v2 switch sockets. Otherwise, Keychron K3 v3 or Pro/Max.

Looking for heavy typing (lots of text and programming) Keyboard.
I previously tried a Keychron K3 V3 with brown switches, but it felt too sensitive, and the lack of tactile feedback actually reduced my typing accuracy. Overall, typing on it just wasn’t enjoyable for me. Do you mean red switches? Or do you mean something poppier than brown? Try Gateron Banana LP o

Does the Keychron K3 v3 and the K3 Max support choc v2 switches?
Re "QMK firmware for the K3 V3 in their GitHub repository": If you mean the source code for the keyboard firmware, then it is in branch "wls_2025q1" Here are some instructions for the initial setup. Note the branch confusion. References K3 V3 JSON files for Via. Near "K3 version 3 ISO RGB keymap". N

How to Low Profile-fy a High Profile keyboard?
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Kailh boards. I haven't bought one yet (and probably won't in the near future) but I'm always interested in hands-on reviews. I also had a couple of instances where I was literally one click away from buying a Magi75 but every time the bad reviews about st

Keyboard suggestions for someone who likes low-profile keyboards
Hello, afterall I chose and bought Keychron K3 V3 QMK with red switches. Main points were: ISO layout - I found out that I will really miss "big enter" key, I tried ANSI, but made so much typos. Backlit - It has see-through keycaps from the start, which was big plus against Nuphy Air V3. It also has
